As for its new part of unicorn, Natochenny is itself Russian-American and the Russian is its first language. (She previously dubbed the head of the anime “Alya sometimes hides her feelings in Russian“About a Russian-Japanese girl.) This alone makes her a natural choice for the Russian unicorn, and she also rented” your Spider-Man neighborhood “for” cinematographic ” [reflecting] The New York in which I was born and I grew up. “”
On a personal note: @Mrjefftrammell created a Spiderman series which reflects the New York in which I was born and that I grew up. I cannot believe that I can work on another nostalgic dream show. 💙💙 pic.twitter.com/pqri5fPr2
